Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a briefcase in his hand
Mama took the kids to school
Before she went to work
My sister went to Georgia
To get away from the smog
My brother went on an interview
Still trying to get a job
cnd lord, oh lord
I did everything I could do
Just a phase in life
That everybody goes through
cnd lord, oh lord
I did everything I could do
cnd lord, oh lord
Carry me home
Don't be too long
Carry me home
c friend of ours got married
Everybody had a ball
They partied till the morning
cnd they still wanted more
The couple looked so happy
Wonder if they'll change
Things never stay the same
So let's move along
cnd lord, oh lord
I did everything I could do
Just a phase in life
That everybody goes through
cnd lord, oh lord
I did everything I could do
cnd lord, oh lord
Carry me home
Don't be too long
Carry me home
The lyrics of Gloworm's song "Home" tell a story of a family and their various experiences and journeys.

The sister decides to go to Georgia, possibly to find a better living environment away from the pollution and smog. Meanwhile, the brother goes on an interview, suggesting that he is actively seeking employment.
The chorus of the song expresses a sense of longing and vulnerability. The singer acknowledges that they have done everything they could do in this phase of life, which everyone goes through. It implies that sometimes life can be challenging and uncertain, and we can only do our best to navigate through it. The repeated plea to the Lord to carry them home suggests a desire for comfort, support, and a sense of belonging.
The second verse introduces a friend who gets married, and the celebration is described as one where everyone has a great time and parties until the morning. Despite the joyous occasion, the singer wonders if things will change for the couple. The lyrics imply that change is inevitable, and things never stay the same. The suggestion to move along indicates accepting the transitory nature of life.
